‘Buffalo’ Workplace Comedy Produced By John Hamburg Set At Fox With Penalty

Fox has given a script commitment with penalty toBuffalo, a comedy project from 20th Century Fox TV and John Hamburg’s studio-based Particular Pictures.

Written by Shawn Wines, Buffalo revolves around dysfunctional members of a workspace collective, set in the emerging Rust Belt paradise of Buffalo, NY. Particular Pictures’ Hamburg and Jacob Robinson will executive produce alongside Wines.

Fox has been very high on Wines, who got the network’s attention with his viral video Upstairs. Wines landed his first sale out of graduate school at Fox in 2012, a comedy series adaptation of Upstairs. The following year, Fox bought another half-hour script from Wines titled Five; both projects were produced by Aaron Kaplan.
